based medicine have become an integral part of respiratory care. With these policies in place‚ respiratory therapists are given clear‚ defined boundaries put in place by physicians‚ medical staff and hospitals to allow for flexibility in the assessment and treatment of their patients. Not only has this allowed for more freedom within their profession‚ it has also granted therapists the authority to collect clinical information regarding the respiratory status of their patients‚ assess those patients

CARDIO Tendon xanthomata: deposition of yellowish cholesterol rich material in the tendons‚ asociared with hyperlipidaemia. Eg on knuckles Xanthelasma: cholesterol deposits around the eyes. Corneal Arcus: deposition of cholesterol/lipid in the cornea. CRP : acute phase of protein produced predominantly by the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines Chest Pain on Xray: evidence of another cause of chest pain such as air in the mediastinum (oesophageal rupture) or aortic dissection

11Circulatory and Respiratory Flipped Resources Student Learning Objectives Central Concepts: There is a relationship between the organization of cells into tissues and the organization of tissues into organs. The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the circulatory system (heart‚ arteries‚ veins‚ capillaries‚ red blood cells) transports nutrients and oxygen to cells and removes cell wastes

They do this by the respiratory system getting the oxygen and the cardiovascular system oxygenate the blood and uses it to supply the body and carbon dioxide from the tissues diffuses into the blood and is carried back to the lungs where it is breathed

Levishon and kleven (2000) discussed that the most dramatic disease of M. gallisepticum was chronic respiratory disease in meat type birds‚ often as one of several aetiological agents in a multi-factorial disease complex. Phenotypic variation of major surface antigens occurs at high frequency which was a probable explanation for chronic infection by M. gallisepticum despite a strong immune response. Bradbury et al. (2001) mentioned that avian Mycoplasma was caused by several pathogenic Mycoplasmas

Respiratory System: Study Guide The respiratory system provides for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the body. - In terrestrial vertebrae’s‚ the respiratory system includes 3 steps: 1. Breathing: Inspiration (inhaling oxygen) and Expiration (exhaling carbon dioxide) 2. External exchange- Gas exchange between the AIR and BLOOD in lungs. Blood then transfers oxygen to the tissue cells. 3. Internal exchange- Gas exchange between the BLOOD & TISSUE FLUID and between the CELLS & TISSUE FLUID

Activity 3.3.4: Respiratory Therapy Resume Introduction A baby comes into the world too early and her lungs are not yet fully developed. An elderly man who has smoked for years now finds himself gasping for breath. A teenage boy who has always struggled with asthma wants to improve his ability to play team sports. A young woman pulled out of the water after a near drowning finds it painful to take in and expel air. All of the patients described above need assistance getting sufficient amounts

Respiratory Volumes Activity 2: Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1. Minute respiratory volume: 7‚500 ml 2. Judging from the trace you generated‚ inspiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 3. Expiration took place over how many seconds? 2 seconds 4. Does the duration of inspiration or expiration vary during ERV or FVC? Yes Activity 3: Effect of Restricted Air Flow on Respiratory Volumes 5. How does this set of data compare to the data you recorded for Activity

Roscoe’s Journey Through the Respiratory System By: Carmen Ventura Hi‚ my name is Roscoe. Let me tell you about my journey. Carmen Ventura KINE-1306 Professor Bustamante Roscoe’s Journey through the Respiratory System Hi my name is Roscoe and I am an oxygen cell. I was told by my grandfather Gene that I was a very important cell. He told me that when someone takes a breath they take in all types of molecules in the air including myself. My grandfather was a very wise man and whenever
